About Annika Haas

Annika Haas (1974) is an Estonian photo artist and curator based in Tallinn. She is mainly interested in people in their self-generated constrained and closed environments, which function based on internal rules. One particular feature of standalone communities lies in their opposition to the ruling majority, at times even with the rest of society. That is why she chose existence within such a conflicting situation as the main theme of study of her projects. In recent works, she crosses the boundaries of photography, combining different media including photo, video,sound and light.

As an emerging curator her practice is grounded in research-led, feminist, and socially engaged approaches to photography and contemporary exhibition-making. Her work focuses on questions of visibility, power, and marginalised narratives within Baltic visual culture, combining archival research, participatory methodologies, and cross-media exhibition formats. Alongside her artistic practice, she has developed curatorial experience within museum and gallery contexts.
